COMBINED SAFETY RAZOR AND HAIR CLIPPER.

Application filed January 20, 1922. Serial No. 530,531.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH JAKUBIEG, a citizen of Poland, residing atUhrichsville, in the county of Tuscarawas and State of have inventedcertain new and useful Combined Safety Razors of which the followingImprovements in and Hair Clippers,

is a specification.

This invention relates to a combined safety razor' and hair clipper andit has for an object to provide a simple and inexpensive implementcapable of use both in shaving and in cutting'the hair.

For further comprehension of the-invention, and of the objects andadvantages thereof, reference will be had to the following descriptionand accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which thevarious novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

Fig. 1 of the drawings is a perspective view of my improved'combinationimplement.

Fig. 2 is a detail end view of the blade carrier and its rotating means.

Fig. 3 is an end view of the implement showing it adjustedfor shaving.

Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the implement adjusted for cuttinghair.

Fig. 5 is a detail plan view of the implement with the handle removed.

Fig. 6 is a detail plan view of the comb unit.

Fig. 7 is a detail view part elevation and part axial section, of thehandle.

Fig. 8 is a detail perspective view of one of the cutting blades.

In constructing my improved implement I provide a U-shaped yoke orframe-1O to the centre of which a screwll is fixed to receive a handle12. Mounted in the legs of this yoke 10, near the end-s thereof, is ashaft 13 having disks 14 fixed to opposite ends thereof, the shafthaving diminished (lends such as 15 which engage. in the yoke egs.

sides of a square whose corners lie in the peripheries of the disks,these slots each having one end opening through the peripheries of thedisks.

These slots 17 form seats for the ends of resilient blades 18 whichextend between the disks 14, the blades having ribs such as 19 extendingalong their rear edges and en- These disks 14 are eachv formed withseries of slots 17 which are arranged in the so that the blades have aof pins such as co-operating with gaging in enlargements 2O at the rearends of the slots 17 To give the blades a shearing action the slots 17of the respective disks 14 have a staggered relation to one anotherspiral inclination. in offsets 23 from the 24, preferably rubbercovered, and having a pulley 25 fixed on one end and driving shaft- 13by means of a crossed belt 26, this roller rolling on the face or headwhen the device is in use. p

Carried by the yoke 10 is a comb 28 whose teeth project inwardly underthe cutters toward the roller 24, this comb having upwardly andforwardly inclined. arms 29 on opposite ends which pivotally engage theends 15 of the shaft 13. These arms 29 extend rearwardly across'theofisets 23 and are adjustably engaged therewith by means 30 adapted forinsertion in Suitably jo'urnaled yoke 10 1s .a roller the desired onesof a series of openings 31 with which each ofl'set is provided, theseopenings lying in the .arc of a circle concentric to shaft 13.

The teeth 32 of the comb 28 are curved as seen in face view to causetheirinner ends to present diagonal fixed cutter elements 33 the blades18. By adjust.- ing the angle of the comb 28 the height of the fixedcutter elements 33 is varied, to cause the hair to be cut to diflerentlengths. When the device is to be used in shaving the comb is adjustedto the position shown in Fig. 4, permitting the blades to graze theskin.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire toprotect by Letters Patent of the United States-is as follows:

1. A device of the class described comprising a series of rotary cuttingblades,-a yoke supporting said blades, a roller pivoted 1n offsets fromsaid yoke and positioned in ad- Vance of said cutting blades, adrivecpnnection between said roller and cutting blades, a comb-havingits teeth formed to present diagonalcutting elements co-operating withsaid blades, a pair of arms on which said comb is carried, said armsbeing pivoted concentric to said cutter blades, and means for fixingsaid arms in. different positions with respect to the said support.

2. A device of the class described comprising a series of rotary cuttingblades, a yoke supporting said blades, a roller pivoted 111 ofi'setsfrom said yoke nd positioned in ad- Vance of said cutting blades, adrive connection between said roller and cutting blades, a comb havingits teeth formed to present diagonal cutt ng elements co-operatin Withsaid blades, a pair ofarms on whic said comb is carried, said arms beingpivoted concentric to said cutter blades, and means for fixing said armsin different positions with respect to the said support, comprising apin carried by one of said arms and adapted to engage in any one of aseries of holes in said support.- 7 v 3. A device of the class describedcomprising a U-shaped yoke, a handle fixed thereto,

JOSEPH JAKUBIE C.
